A Chinese national living in Andover, Massachusetts, has been charged by federal prosecutors with voter fraud after allegedly impersonating another Chinese national to register and vote in the 2024 US presidential election. Yupeng Sun, 33, was arrested on Wednesday, with the Department of Justice saying he then reported his alleged victim to immigration authorities for illegal voting, apparently in an attempt to deflect suspicion. The case forms part of a wider Justice Department crackdown on noncitizens voting in federal elections.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the DOJ is adopting a "broken window" approach, pursuing every lead on alleged illegal voting by noncitizens and warning that offenders could face prosecution and removal from the United States, marking a shift from the approach of previous administrations. Sun faces at least one federal charge in connection with the alleged scheme, though full details of the charges were not specified in the report.
